Witr Prayer : Salatul Witr

Assalamalaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

In this Post i have some brief explanation and useful links to share In Sha Allah that can help us learn about salatul witr and its importance.

Witr means odd i.e. 1, 3, 5 etc. Some pray 3 raka’ats while some pray 1 raka’at. Which one is correct? The answer is given in the following hadith:

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari narrated that Rasool-Allah (PBUH) said: “The Witr is a right upon every Muslim, so whoever likes to perform Witr with 5 raka’ats then let him do so. And whoever likes to perform Witr with 3 raka’ats, then let him do so. And whoever likes to perform Witr with one, then let him do so.”

(Hadith No. 1422, Book of Witr, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 2)

The ‘witr’ prayers are not obligatory, but an extremely preferred Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws), and he (saws) time and again exhorted the believers to offer the witr prayers and make it the last prayer of the night.
